Key to the Deseret Alphabet

The Deseret Alphabet is a phonetic alphabet for the writing of English introduced under the auspices of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon) during the 19th century. Despite heavy support from Brigham Young, the Alphabet never caught on and hasn't had any significant use since 1869 and the publication of a Deseret Alphabet-edition of the Book of Mormon.

The Alphabet consists of 38 letters. Each letter has an upper- and lower-case form which look identical except for size. The letters, their names, and sounds are as follows:

My experience has been that the “official” name and pronunciation guides published by the LDS Church a hundred years ago were rather confusing; I've taken the liberty of respelling the letter names to make them more intelligible.

The alphabet wasn't in general use long enough to produce a stable set of spellings; and, being a phonetic alphabet, it tended to be spelled in a rather ideosyncratic fashion anyway. The one spelling convention of which one should be aware is that when a word has the same sound as a letter's name, that letter can be used by itself for the whole word. Thus, the word “be” is written B, and not BIE.

4. Faur it keym too pas in TH komensmont ov TH forst yir ov TH reyn ov Zedokio, king ov Joodo, (mi foTHor, Liehi, having dwelt at Joroosolom in aul hiz deyz); and in THat seym yir THer keym menie profots, profosieing ontoo TH piepol THat THey most ripent, aur TH greyt sitie Joroosolom most b distroid.

5. Werfaur it keym too pas THat mi foTHor, Liehi, az hie went faurth preyd ontoo TH Laurd, yey, ievon wiTH aul hiz hort, in bihaf ov hiz piepol.

7. And it keym too pas THat hie ritornd too hiz oan hows at Joroosolom; and hie kast himself opon hiz bed, bieing oavorkom wiTH TH Spirot and TH thingz wich hie had sien.

8. And bieing THos oavorkom wiTH TH Spirot, hie woz

10. And hie aulsoa sau twelv oTHorz foloaing him, and THer britnos did iksied THat ov TH storz in TH frmomont.

11. And THey keym down and went faurth opon TH feys ov TH orth; and TH forst keym and stud bifaur mi foTHor, and geyv ontoo him aa buk, and beyd him THat hie shud red.

12. And it keym too pas THat az hie red, hie woz fild wiTH TH Spirot ov TH Laurd.

13. And hie red, seying: Woa, woa, ontoo Joroosolom, faur I hav sien THin obomoneyshonz! Yey, and menie thingz did mi foTHor red konsorning Joroosolom—THat it shud b distroid, and TH inhabotonts therov; menie shud perish bi TH saurd, and menie shud b karied owey kaptiv intoo Babolon.

14. And it keym too pas THat wen mi foTHor had red and sien menie greyt and morvolos thingz, hie did ikskleym menie thingz ontoo TH Laurd; soch az: Greyt and morvolos or THi works, OA Laurd God AUlmitie! THi throan iz hi in TH hevonz, and THi powor, and gudnos, and morsie or oavor aul TH

1. Now THiez or TH wordz wich Amyolek priecht ontoo TH piepol hoo wor in TH land ov Amoniho, seying:

2. I am Amyolek; I am TH son ov Gidoano, hoo woz TH son ov Ishmiel, hoo woz aa disendont ov Aminadi; and it woz THat seym Aminadi hoo intorprotod TH riting wich woz opon TH waul ov TH tempol, wich woz riton bi TH finggor ov God.

4. And bihoald, I am aulsoa aa man ov noa smaul repyoteyshon omong aul THoaz hoo noa mie; yey, and bihoald, I hav menie kindridz and frendz, and I hav aulsoa okwiord moch richoz bi TH hand ov mi indostrie.

5. NevorTHoles, aftor aul THis, I nevor hav noan moch ov TH weyz ov TH Laurd, and hiz mistoriez and morvolos powor. I sed I nevor had noan moch ov THiez thingz; bot bihoald, I misteyk, faur I hav sien moch ov hiz mistoriez and hiz morvolos powor; yey, ievon in TH prezorveyshon ov TH livz ov THis piepol.

6. NevorTHoles, I did hordon mi hort, faur I woz kauld menie timz and I wud not hir; THerfaur I noo konsorning THiez thingz, yet I wud not noa; THerfaur I went on ribeling ogenst God, in TH wikodnos ov mi hort, ievon ontil TH faurth dey ov THis sevonth month, wich iz in THtenth yir ov TH reyn ov TH jojiz.

7. Az I woz jornieing too sie aa verie nir kindrid, bihoald an eynjol ov TH Laurd opird ontoo mie and sed: Amyolek, ritorn too THin oan hows, faur THow shalt fied aa

   profot ov TH Laurd; yey, aa hoalie man, hoo iz aa choazon man ov God; faur hie haz faustid menie deyz bikauz ov TH sinz ov THis piepol, and hie iz an honggod, and THow shalt rosiev him

   intoo THi hows and fied him, and hie shal bles THie and THi hows; and TH blesing ov TH Laurd shal rest opon THie and THi hows.

8. And it keym too pas THat I oabeyd TH vois ov TH eynjol, and ritornd towaurdz mi hows. And az I woz goaing thiTHer I fownd TH man hoom TH eynjol sed ontoo mie: THow shalt rosiev intoo THi hows—and bihoald it woz THis seym man hoo haz bin spieking ontoo yoo konsorning TH thingz ov God.

9. And TH eynjol sed ontoo mie hie iz aa hoalie man; werfaur I noa hie iz aa hoalie man bikauz it woz sed bi an eynjol ov God.

10. And ogen, I noa THat TH thingz werov hie hath testofid or troo; faur bihoald I sey ontoo yoo, THat az TH Laurd livith,

    ievon soa haz hie sent hiz eynjol too meyk THiez thingz manofest ontoo mie; and THis hie haz don wil THis Almo hath dwelt at mi hows.

11. Faur bihoald, hie hath blest min hows, hie hath blest mie, and mi wimon, and mi childron, and mi foTHor and mi kinzfoak; yey, ievon aul mi kindrid hath hie blest, and TH blesing ov TH Laurd hath restod opon os okaurding too TH wordz wich hie speyk.

12. And now, wen Amyolek had spoakon THiez wordz TH piepol bigan too b ostonisht, sieing THer woz maur THan won witnos hoo testofid ov TH thingz werov THey wor okyoozd, and

    aulsoa ov TH thingz wich wor too kom, okaurding too TH spirot ov profosie wich woz in THem.

13. NevorTHoles, THer wor som omong THem hoo thaut too kweschon THem, THat bi THer koning divisoz THey mit kach THem

    in THer wordz, THat THey mit find witnos ogenst THem, THat THey

14. Now it woz THoaz men hoo saut too distroi THem, hoo wor lauyorz, hoo wor hiord aur opointod bi TH piepol too odminostor TH lau at THer timz ov triolz, aur at TH triolz ov

    TH krimz ov TH piepol bifaur TH jojiz.

15. Now THiez lauyorz wor lornd in aul TH orts and koning ov TH piepol; and THis woz too eneybol THem THat THey mit b skilfol in THer profeshon.

16. And it keym too pas THat THey bigan too kweschon Amyolek, THat THerbi THey mit meyk him kraus hiz wordz, aur kontrodikt TH wordz wich hie shud spiek.

17. Now THey noo not THat Amyolek kud noa ov THer dizinz. Bot it keym too pas az THey bigan too kweschon him, hie porsievd THer thauts, and hie sed ontoo THem: OA y wikod and porvors jenoreyshon, y lauyorz and hipokrits, faur y or leying TH fowndeyshonz ov TH devol; faur y or leying traps and snerz too kach TH hoalie wonz ov God.

18. Y or leying planz too porvort TH weyz ov TH richos, and too bring down TH rath ov God opon yaur hedz, ievon too TH otor distrokshon ov THis piepol.

19. Yey, wel did Moazio sey, hoo woz owor last king, wen hie woz obowt too dilivor op TH kingdom, having noa won too konfor it opon, kozing THat THis piepol shud b govornd bi THer oan voisoz—yey, wel did hie sey THat if TH tim shud kom THat TH vois ov THis piepol shud chooz inikwitie, THat iz, if TH tim shud kom THat THis piepol shud faul intoo tranzgreshon, THey wud b rip faur distrokshon.

20. And now I sey ontoo yoo THat wel doth TH Laurd joj ov yaur inikwitiez; wel doth hie kri ontoo THis piepol, bi TH vois ov hiz eynjolz: Ripent y, ripent, faur TH kingdom ov hevon iz at hand.

21. Yey, wel doth hie kri, bi TH vois ov hiz eynjolz THat: I wil kom down omong mi piepol, wiTH ekwotie and jostos in mi handz.

22. Yey, and I sey ontoo yoo THat if it wor not faur TH

    prerz ov TH richos, hoo or now in TH land, THat y wud ievon now b vizotod wiTH otor distrokshon; yet it wud not b bi flod, az wor TH piepol in TH deyz ov Noao, bot it wud b bi famon, and bi pestolons, and TH saurd.

23. Bot it iz bi TH prerz ov TH richos THat y or sperd; now THerfaur, if y wil kast owt TH richos from omong yoo THen wil not TH Laurd stey hiz hand; bot in hiz firs anggor hie wil kom owt ogenst yoo; THen y shal b smiton bi famon, and bi

    pestolons, and bi TH saurd; and TH tim iz soon at hand

    iksept y ripent.

24. And now it keym too pas THat TH piepol wor maur anggrie wiTH Amyolek, and THey krid owt, seying: THis man doth rivil ogenst owor lauz wich or jost, and owor wiz lauyorz hoom wie hav solektod.

25. Bot Amyolek strecht faurth hiz hand, and krid TH mitieor ontoo THem, seying: OA y wikod and porvors jenoreyshon, wi hath Seyton got soch greyt hoald opon yaur horts? Wi wil y yield yurselvz ontoo him THat hie mey hav

    powor oavor yoo, too blind yaur iz, THat y wil not ondorstand TH wordz wich or spoakon, okaurding too THer trooth?

26. Faur bihoald, hav I testofid ogenst yaur lau? Y doo not ondorstand; y sey THat I hav spoakon ogenst yaur lau; bot I hav not, bot I hav spoakon in feyvor ov yaur lau, too yaur kondomneyshon.

27. And now bihoald, I sey ontoo yoo, THat TH fowndeyshon ov TH distrokshon ov THis piepol iz bigining too b leyd bi TH onrichosnis ov yaur lauyorz and yaur jojiz.

28. And now it keym too pas THat wen Amyolek had spoakon THiez wordz TH piepol krid owt ogenst him, seying: Now wie noa THat THis man iz aa child ov TH devol, faur hie hath lid ontoo os; faur hie hath spoakon ogenst owor lau. And now hie sez THat hie haz not spoakon ogenst it.

29. And ogen, hie haz rievild ogenst owor lauyorz, and owor jojiz.

30. And it keym too pas THat TH lauyorz put it intoo THer horts THat THey shud rimembor THiez thingz ogenst him.

31. And THer woz won omong THem hooz neym woz Zieezrom. Now hie woz TH faurmoast too okyooz Amyolek and Almo, hie bieing won ov TH moast eksport omong THem, having moch biznos too doo omong TH piepol.

32. Now TH objekt ov THiez lauyorz woz too get geyn; and THey got geyn okaurding too THer emploi.

1. Now it woz in TH lau ov Moazio THat evorie man hoo woz aa joj ov TH lau, aur THoaz hoo wor opointod too b jojiz, shud rosiev weyjoz okaurding too TH tim wich THey leybord too joj THoaz hoo wor braut bifaur THem too b jojd.

2. Now if aa man oad onoTHor, and hie wud not pey THat wich hie did oa, hie woz kompleynd ov too TH joj; and TH joj

   eksokyootod othaurotie, and sent faurth aufosorz THat TH man shud b braut bifaur him; and hie jojd TH man okaurding too TH lau and TH evodonsoz wich wor braut ogenst him, and THos TH

3. And TH joj rosievd faur hiz weyjoz okaurding too hiz tim—aa sienin ov goald faur aa dey, aur aa sienom ov silvor, wich iz iekwol too aa sienin ov goald; and THis iz okaurding too TH lau wich woz givon.

4. Now THiez or TH neymz ov TH diforont piesoz ov THer goald, and ov THer silvor, okaurding too THer valyoo. And TH neymz or givon bi TH Niefits, faur THey did not rekon aftor TH manor ov TH Jooz hoo wor at Joroosolom; nieTHor did THey mezor aftor TH manor ov TH Jooz; bot THey aultord THer rekoning and THer mezor, okaurding too TH mindz and TH sorkomstansoz ov TH piepol, in evorie jenoreyshon, ontil TH reyn ov TH jojiz, THey having bin istablisht bi king Moazio.

5. Now TH rekoning iz THos—aa sienin ov goald, aa sieon ov goald, aa shom ov goald, and aa limno ov goald.

6. AA sienom ov silvor, an amoar ov silvor, an ezrom ov silvor, and an ontie ov silvor.

7. AA sienom ov silvor woz iekwol too aa sienin ov goald, and ieTHor faur aa mezor ov borlie, and aulsoa faur aa mezor ov evorie kind ov greyn.

8. Now TH omownt ov aa sieon ov goald woz twis TH valyoo

   ov aa sienin.

9. And aa shom ov goald woz twis TH valyoo ov aa sieon.

10. And aa limno ov goald woz TH valyoo ov THem aul.

11. And an amoar ov silvor woz az greyt az too sienomz.

12. And an ezrom ov silvor woz az greyt az faur sienomz.

13. And an ontie woz az greyt az THem aul.

14. Now THis iz TH valyoo ov TH lesor nomborz ov THer rekoning—

15. AA shiblon iz haf ov aa sienom; THerfaur, aa shiblon faur haf aa mezor ov borlie.

16. And aa shiblom iz aa haf ov aa shiblon.

17. And aa lieo iz TH haf ov aa shiblom.

18. Now THis iz THer nombor, okaurding too THer rekoning.

19. Now an antieon ov goald iz iekwol too thrie shiblonz.

20. Now, it woz faur TH soal porpos too get geyn, bikauz THey rosievd THer weyjoz okaurding too THer emploi, THerfaur, THey did stor op TH piepol too riotingz, and aul manor ov distorbonsoz and wikodnos, THat THey mit hav maur emploi, THat THey mit get monie okaurding too TH soots wich wor braut bifaur THem; THerfaur THey did stor op TH piepol ogenst Almo and Amyolek.

21. And THis Zieezrom bigan too kweschon Amyolek, seying: Wil y ansor mie aa fyoo kweschonz wich I shal ask yoo? Now Zieezrom woz aa man hoo woz eksport in TH divisoz ov TH devol, THat hie mit distroi THat wich woz gud; THerfaur, hie sed ontoo Amyolek: Wil y ansor TH kweschonz wich I shal put ontoo yoo?

22. And Amyolek sed ontoo him: Yey, if it b okaurding too TH Spirot ov TH Laurd, wich iz in mie; faur I shal sey nothing wich iz kontrerie too TH Spirot ov TH Laurd. And Zieezrom sed ontoo him: Bihoald, hir or siks ontiez ov silvor,

    and aul THiez wil I giv THie if THow wilt dini TH egzistons ov

    aa Sopriem Bieing.

23. Now Amyolek sed: OA THow child ov hel, wi tempt y mie? Noaist THow THat TH richos yieldith too noa soch temteyshonz?

24. Bilievist THow THat THer iz noa God? I sey ontoo yoo, Ney, THow noaist THat THer iz aa God, bot THow lovost THat lookor maur THan him.

25. And now THow hast lid bifaur God ontoo mie. THow sedst ontoo mie—Bihoald THiez siks ontiez, wich or ov greyt worth, I wil giv ontoo THie—wen THow hadst it in THi hort too riteyn THem from mie; and it woz oanlie THi dizior THat I shud dini TH troo and living God, THat THow mitest hav koz too distroi mie. And now bihoald, faur THis greyt ievol THow shalt hav THi riwaurd.

26. And Zieezrom sed ontoo him: THow seyost THer iz aa troo and living God?

27. And Amyolek sed: Yey, THer iz aa troo and living God.

28. Now Zieezrom sed: Iz THer maur THan won God?

29. And hie ansord, Noa.

30. Now Zieezrom sed ontoo him ogen: How noaist THow THiez thingz?

31. And hie sed: An eynjol hath meyd THem noan ontoo mie.

32. And Zieezrom sed ogen: Hoo iz hie THat shal kom? Iz

33. And hie sed ontoo him, Yey.

34. And Zieezrom sed ogen: SHal hie seyv hiz piepol in THer sinz? And Amyolek ansord and sed ontoo him: I sey ontoo yoo hie shal not, faur it iz imposobol faur him too dini hiz word.

35. Now Zieezrom sed ontoo TH piepol: Sie THat y rimembor THiez thingz; faur hie sed THer iz bot won God; yet hie seyith THat TH Son ov God shal kom, bot hie shal not seyv hiz piepol—az THoa hie had othaurotie too komand God.

36. Now Amyolek seyith ogen ontoo him: Bihoald THow hast lid, faur THow seyost THat I speyk az THoa I had othaurotie too komand God bikauz I sed hie shal not seyv hiz piepol

    in THer sinz.

37. And I sey ontoo yoo ogen THat hie kanot seyv THem in THer sinz; faur I kanot dini hiz word, and hie hath sed THat noa onklien thing kan inherot TH kingdom ov hevon; THerfaur, how kan y b seyvd, iksept y inherot TH kingdom ov hevon? THerfaur, y kanot b seyvd in yaur sinz.

38. Now Zieezrom seyith ogen ontoo him: Iz TH Son ov God TH verie Itornol FoTHor?

39. And Amyolek sed ontoo him: Yey, hie iz TH verie Itornol FoTHor ov hevon and ov orth, and aul thingz wich in THem or; hie iz TH bigining and TH end, TH forst and TH last;

40. And hie shal kom intoo TH world too ridiem hiz piepol; and hie shal teyk opon him TH tranzgreshonz ov THoaz hoo biliev on hiz neym; and THiez or THey THat shal hav itornol lif, and salveyshon komith too non els.

41. THerfaur TH wikod rimeyn az THoa THer had bin noa ridempshon meyd, iksept it b TH loosing ov TH bandz ov deth;

    faur bihoald, TH dey komith THat aul shal riz from TH ded and stand bifaur God, and b jojd okaurding too THer works.

42. Now, THer iz aa deth wich iz kauld aa temporol deth; and TH deth ov Krist shal loos TH bandz ov THis temporol deth, THat aul shal b reyzd from THis temporol deth.

43. TH spirot and TH bodie shal b rieoonitid ogen in

Now, THis restoreyshon shal kom too aul, boath oald and yong, boath bond and frie, boath meyl and fiemeyl, boath TH wikod and TH richos; and ievon THer shal not soa moch az aa her ov THer hedz b laust; bot evorie thing shal b ristaurd too its porfekt freym, az it iz now, aur in TH bodie, and shal b braut and b oreynd bifaur TH bor ov Krist TH Son, and God TH FoTHor, and TH Hoalie Spirot, wich iz won Itornol God, too b jojd okaurding too THer works, weTHor THey b gud aur weTHor THey b ievol.

45. Now, bihoald, I hav spoakon ontoo yoo konsorning TH deth ov TH maurtol bodie, and aulsoa konsorning TH rezorekshon ov TH maurtol bodie. I sey ontoo yoo THat THis maurtol bodie iz reyzd too an imaurtol bodie, THat iz from deth, ievon from TH forst deth ontoo lif, THat THey kan di noa maur; THer spirots yooniting wiTH THer bodiez, nevor too b dividod; THos TH hoal bikoming spirichowol and imaurtol, THat THey kan noa maur sie koropshon.

46. Now, wen Amyolek had finisht THiez wordz TH piepol bigan ogen too b ostonisht, and aulsoa Zieezrom bigan too trembol. And THos endod TH wordz ov Amyolek, aur THis iz

aul THat I hav riton.

1. Now Almo, sieing THat TH wordz ov Amyolek had silonst Zieezrom, faur hie bieheld THat Amyolek had kot him in hiz liing and disieving too distroi him, and sieing THat hie bigan too trembol ondor aa konshosnos ov hiz gilt, hie oapond hiz mowth and bigan too spiek ontoo him, and too istablish TH wordz ov Amyolek, and too ikspleyn thingz biond, aur too onfoald TH skripchorz biond THat wich Amyolek had don.

7. Now wen Almo had spoakon THiez wordz, Zieezrom bigan too trembol maur iksiedinglie, faur hie woz konvinst maur and maur ov TH powor ov God; and hie woz aulsoa konvinst THat Almo and Amyolek had aa noloj ov him, faur hie woz konvinst THat THey noo TH thauts and intents ov hiz hort; faur powor woz givon ontoo THem THat THey mit noa ov THiez thingz okaurding too TH spirot ov profosie.

And now Almo bigan too ikspownd THiez thingz ontoo him, seying: It iz givon ontoo menie too noa TH mistoriez ov God; nevorTHoles THey or leyd ondor aa strikt komand THat THey shal not import oanlie okaurding too TH paurshon ov hiz word wich hie doth grant ontoo TH childron ov men, okaurding too TH hied and dilojons wich THey giv ontoo him.

And THey broak TH kaurdz wiTH wich THey wor bownd; and wen TH piepol sau THis, THey bigan too flie, faur TH fir ov distrokshon had kom opon THem.

And wen hie sau THat Amon had noa dizior too distroi him, and wen hie aulsoa sau TH greyt lov hie had faur hiz son Lamoanie, hie woz ostonisht iksiedinglie, and sed: Bikauz THis iz aul THat THow hast diziord, THat I wud rielies THi breTHron, and sofor THat mi son Lamoanie shud riteyn hiz kingdom, bihoald, I wil grant ontoo yoo THat mi son mey riteyn hiz kingdom from THis tim and forevor; and I wil govorn him noa maur—
